2004–2020: numerous performances, tours and legal issues

In 2012, the Pharcyde's debut Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde had its twentieth anniversary, and to mark the event Fatlip and Slimkid3 teamed up with the album's producers, J-Swift and L.A. Jay, as well as record label Delicious Vinyl, to play the album in its entirety at a tribute show at The Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles. The performance was intended to be a one-off, but due to an overwhelming success and reception, the two of them began touring the show "Bizarre Ride Live", and, along with MC K-Natural, working on original music under the moniker The Bizarre Ride. In December of that year, the Pharcyde released the Amerigo Gazaway-produced "Still Got Love (Bizarre Tribe Megamix)" garnering significant praise. In 2013, Fatlip and Tre Hardson reunited to perform on 'The Over 30, Dirty Old Men Tour'. Due to Fatlip and Tre's tour the following year, legal battles took place as Imani and Bootie Brown sued Fatlip and Slimkid3 over using the name "The Pharcyde", as the two were no longer members of the group. They won the case in 2013, granting Romye Robinson (Bootie Brown) legal ownership of the Pharcyde name. The year 2015 marked the twentieth anniversary of Labcabincalifornia, resulting in a similar tour through Europe and Japan, with Bootie Brown and Imani touring. The remaining two members of the group continued touring Europe through 2017. In April 2015, Imani and Bootie Brown released the song "Sins" featuring Spaceboy Boogie X, now referred to as SBBX, with a music video released in April 2015. In October 2016, the Pharcyde were featured on Moka Only's album Milky State with the song "Picture Clear". The Pharcyde teamed up with SBBX again in March 2017 for the song "A Way", with both songs being released by The Record Jungle and released limited on vinyl. Bootie Brown and Imani continued doing performances all over America, and even self-released the song "Phantasy" in April 2018 alongside Rozzi Daime. In July 2019, they were featured on the song "Play That Song" on the Connie Price & The Keystones album Lucas High. As well, Fatlip and Slimkid3 continued performing concerts. In January 2020, Imani and Bootie Brown appeared in an interview in the fourth season of the Netflix documentary series Hip-Hop Evolution. In April 2020, the remaining Pharcyde members suspended all of their future concerts because of COVID-19.
